Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and taco seasoning. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate while preparing the salad.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, diced red and orange bell peppers, rinsed black beans, drained corn, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Toss gently to mix.
